All student registrations for Years 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 12 must be uploaded to the Student Information Records System (SIRS) by Thursday, 12 February 2026.

Student Registration and Demographic (SRDG) files must be uploaded before this deadline to ensure there are no delays in processing student data for the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN), and to ensure student details are available for the Online Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (OLNA).

Note: after Thursday, 12 February 2026, it may not be possible for school data to be transferred to the NAPLAN platform in bulk, and schools may need to enter students into the NAPLAN platform manually.

It is important for schools to verify that all students have a Western Australian student number (WASN) prior to uploading SRGDG files to SIRS.

Instructions on how to search for a WASN are available in Section 4.3 of the Data Procedures Manual available at https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/publications/data-procedures-manual.

For new students commencing in 2026 who do not have a WASN, schools should request a new number beginning in January 2026.

Note: the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (the Authority) does not issue numbers for pre‑Kindergarten students.

Further information about student registrations for 2026 is available in the November edition of this Circular at https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/kto6-circulars/edition-10-november-2025.
